-INSPIRATION-

The Reel to Reel keycap set draws inspiration from vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders. Though I've never had the chance to use one myself, I've always been captivated by these classic machines. They come from a bygone era, where unique industrial design and intricate mechanical structures embodied the aesthetic of the 70s and 80s—a time that celebrated precision engineering and tactile interfaces. In a way, reel-to-reel recorders share a kindred spirit with mechanical keyboards—both were invented around the same time and became household electronic devices of the era. I wanted to pay tribute to these vintage machines through this keycap design project.

GLWIC. I had to lug my dad's r2r from storage into his house last weekend, and I think it's safe to say that this set will be much more manageable to handle

I like this set, particularly the vu meters! I would love to use them as split space bars in 40% board but even rudimentary 4-key 40s support is not in the base set nor novelty set. Please add basic 40s support!

Thanks so much, man! Glad to hear that!

I'm sure it's easier to handle, maybe your father should get one of these as well.

So much thanks to you, tons of help!

Thank you for sharing your needs, the 40s kit has been added.

I love this set, my dad did radio for years in the 80's and then did the music for our church as a kid! He loves this set and cannot wait to buy it for him. Any ideas on GB date?

Very appreciated! The GB launch is in May, and the production will be held in June and July. Please keep an eye on your local vendor!
